cary hill Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I actually prefer the box as I've modelled it to the new brick base version that was installed. I think I prefer it too, as it seems to have more "character" than the rebuild. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2014 Not long after 1947 if I remember and definitely early 50s.It may have been around the same time as they replaced the original bow-sprung bridge with what's still in situ today.I actually prefer the box as I've modelled it to the new brick base version that was installed. But that's what make it an interesting structure, as I don't think there are many around which survive, but were rebuilt during their operational careers - pity this doesn't seem sufficient justification for listing... By the way, Robin, the polytunnels still abound, and with the dodgy weather also forecast for today and tomorrow, I don't think I'm going to have any backscene images for you in time for RailEx, sorry. Perhaps the Royal Mail can oblige with the memory stick, in a few weeks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 That's a wonderful gift, I'm jealous... (and so is my daughter) I think it might be the factory weathered edition of the Rhino as the upper body is far too shiny. If Rob wanted a heavily weathered look he could try for this: http://www.fredhoogervorst.com/photo/03web/ . This poor Rhino looks to have had a really rough shunting life. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 46444 Posted May 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2014 Evening Robin, I think this may have been discussed before on here but I happened to notice that Cambrian are planning to introduce a kit for the P22 Ballast Hopper. I'm tempted with a few of these to go with my Starfish wagon kits I'm building from the same source. Looking at references for the Teign Valley line, Trusham Quarries did supply ballast to the GWR and was wondering whether you'd be tempted to build a few of these kits for ANTB? Cheers, Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mark One day Mark but there's a long list of jobs that must take priority but you're more than welcome to build some for me to hire. I have a photo of 6829 on a ballast train at Stoneycombe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) On Sunday I was looking at trains going by on this rather magnificent 0 gauge layout (Holiday Haunts - now in its retirement home) DSCF7601.jpg but equally interesting was the 'object' situated just off one end of the layout, clearly there is no original thought in some parts of RMweb DSCF7600.jpg[/quote Hi All, Blimey Mike - are you following me and the No. 4144 gang about? I was there too! I saw Missy on the platform as well! The ex GWR shunting rhino shown in your photograph had an interesting history post withdrawal (or not being alive). It was allegedly converted for use as a creature in the 1977 Star Wars film (the understanding was it was as a creature known as a Dewback) before being restored to close to its original configuration. Funny what you find out isn't it?! See you all on Sunday! Is there going to be a massed meeting and if so when and where? All the best, Castle Edited May 22, 2014 by Castle 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even an optimistic use of Ramsey's guide would struggle to get much more than about £40 for that lot. Edit: I suppose free postage might add another 10% - £44?
